Dear friends,

Great news! We just received word that we won the proposal to the European Commission! This is spectacular news for the alliance: it means that more than 23 million Peso (about € 330.000,-) of FDI (foreign direct investment) will be sent to the area, and all of it will be invested in sustainable livelihoods for the community!

As you can imagine, there are exciting times. The next few weeks will be spent finalizing the financial contract with the EC (no small task considering the budget), and then we will be busy hiring personnel and beginning the project. Thanks to all of you for keeping your fingers crossed for this project!

Beyond this, our proposal pipeline is still strong as we await news regarding the other topics, but for now, we will celebrate!

Best regards from the Philippines,

Martin
